I can't come up with a good translation for "adelanto". Any ideas on how to translate it (if possible the whole sentence) would be really appreciated.
Thanks!

delaying or bringing forward
Below are a couple of ideas for the many ways this sentence could be tackled, but for adelanto I suggest "bring forward"
Studying the impact other events have, such as leaving home, on delaying or bringing forward the school leaving age and labour market incorporation age.
Studying the impact other events have, such as leaving home, on delaying or bringing forward the age young people leave school and join the labour market.

Just omit the expression
I would say *To study the impact ... on the school-leaving age*
The meaning is perfectly understood, as the impact can only be to increase or decrease the age. Moreover, it is tidier.
Hope this helps.
